MCP support
It exposes regulatory search, compliance, and update tools to MCP clients. Listing jurisdictions works without an API key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
uvx regintel-mcpREGINTEL_API_KEYSecretYour RegIntel API key. Get a free key with 100 credits at https://regintelapi.com/get-key.htmlLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Configure with Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"regintel": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["regintel-mcp"],
"env": {
"REGINTEL_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. Six tools appear under the regintel server. Ask: "is crypto trading allowed in Australia?" — the model routes that to check_compliance(country="AU", activity="crypto") on its own.
Configure with Claude Code
claude mcp add regintel -e REGINTEL_API_KEY=your-api-key-here -- uvx regintel-mcp
Try it without a key
list_jurisdictions is auth-optional — useful as a sanity check after install:
Ask Claude: "list the jurisdictions in the regintel server"
If you get back a JSON list with EU, US, AU, SG, UK and 36 others, the package is wired in. Now grab a key for the rest of the tools: regintelapi.com/k
Environment variables
REGINTEL_API_KEY(required for billed tools) — your API key. Without it,list_jurisdictionsstill works; every other tool returns an actionable signup prompt.REGINTEL_API_BASE(optional) — override the API base URL. Defaults tohttps://api.regintelapi.com.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
